This is the best episode of Home Movies ("Wizard's Baker"). The Brendon-being-a-kid stuff is actually really moving, where you see him really want to have a childhood, and ultimately he turns on his friends out of frustration, which is a very sad moment (when they are trying to take the stage during the dinner and solicit investors for their movie). But in the end McGuirk comes to the rescue w/ "spaghetti time" and he's able to reconcile w Melissa and Jason. Also, swords.
@masakasama any other passion projects of this calibre you can recommend? this show is pure unadulterated gold.. can't believe it took me so long to stumble upon it hah, on tom goes to the mayor and tim and eric's level
It's definetly one of my favorites, very relatable Brendon plotline, suprisingly hilarious Coach Mcguirk side plot and a funny conclusion that ties it together. If only UA-cam TV didn't keep fucking up recordings, I swear it never gets the beginning right.
@@machina5 Not really. There is no guarantee that he couldn't cut the soccer ball and also stop short of the head. In the horizontal scenario, a hand must come off for the ball to be cut.

Yeah, Benjamin is generally immediately recognizable (except for Jason's voice in this, when I was younger I didn't realize until I read that it's him), but something he excels with is changing the way he actually speaks with the smaller mannerisms sentence structure habits etc, he manages to capture the personality of the character without changing the _sound_ of his own voice, so even though at face value his voice sounds the same, all his characters are wildly different. Like, in a blind audio-only test, I bet money I could differentiate between McGuirk, Archer, and Bob.
I liked this show as a 6th grader when Adult Swim started. But it's 30x funnier as a grown ass man. Why do I relate so hard to Coach AND Brendon? AND Jeremy?
@@michaelsmith3533 Hell yes! Thank you! That original line-up in 2001/2002 was so next level. And the funniest part of being a little kid when it premiered, I didn't know what to expect from 'adult cartoon programming'. And I sincerely felt so attached to these shows; from Home Movies, to all the 15 min one-offs, to all the anime in rotation. I think shows like this one totally shaped our humor.
@Vapor Nope. A fedora is what Indiana Jones wears. A trilby is what neckbeards wear, commonly confused with a fedora. Every time you people call those hats fedoras you shame Indiana Jones, and after the 4th movie I don't think he can take much more.
"Look at Jeremy over there. Doesn't have a care in the world. He just goes home and eats cookies. I talk to him all the time. I said 'Hey, what you do last night', he goes 'I went home and I ate cookies, and I had a peanut butter & jelly sandwich'." "Right." "That's it." "But he's obese."
you know... i find it so weird. theres no punchline here. theres no set up to a joke. theres no humorous structure here. but this part was absolutely fucking hilarious.
when it's 3 am, and you're drunk enough to buy swords from t.v., a stick of butter melting on your chest is the least questionable decision you've made.
$12,000 for those swords makes this unironically seem like a fair deal, $1000+ for a single sword is actually pretty normal for functioning swords and in particular it's close to the price of well regarded ones you'd find mentioned in the community. The possibility of these swords being of quality make really substantiates itself too. Brendon's inability to lift the sword that drops to the ground, another sword being able to easily cut through a cooler and stacked safety cones, it's stuff that you wouldn't get from wall hangers. McGurick certainly doesn't handle his money here well but he has a solid pick in the market channels he watches and managed to not get scammed despite so many odds against him.
Of course they're good quality. He literally has a replica of Excalibur. It has magical powers. He just doesn't know how to release the powers. That cashier at the grocery store probably feels like an idiot for not taking the swords as payment for food.
Look on the bright side, at least the show still had quality when it ended, better than trying to milk it causing the quality to get worse and worse witch each season until it’s begging to be cancelled, or worse turn into a show that keeps going when it should have ended years ago
"I'm not asking you to take swords all the time" coach Mcguirk trying to trade his swords for food and booze and the local supermarket is one of the funniest scenes I've seen in a cartoon.
Why'd you buy em? It's complicated Brendon Well what's so complicated I can understand it why? You don't understand No I could probably understand You would never understand unless you lived alone So you live by yourself and what you get lonely and buy swords? I don't understand. Wow you nailed it.
I never realized how funny this is as an adult. I watched this as a teen and was flabbergasted at how unfunny it was for me back then, and now I don’t see how I didn’t find it funny 😆
Because this is adult programming and not for kids nor teens, which is why I'm glad I never bothered watching most of them as a kid/teen and waited till I became an adult to enjoy them.
@@SergeantExtreme oh my gosh when I was younger King of the Hill was such a snoozefest but now that I'm 20 I love the show, it's hilarious and I can't believe I found it boring
This show helped shape my comedic taste back when I was a kid. Adult swim would come on and you would hear the classic "all kids out of the pool". I would watch home movies, sealab 2021, 12oz mouse. All the classics AS lineup. I would like to extended a sincere thank you from a long time adult swimmer for all of the laughs throughout the years.
I also love how in the end credits for the episode it has coach McGuirk dressed as Zorro and carrying a pack of swords and Mr. lynch in a cat costume acting as a swashbuckling duo fighting crime.
Mattboo I was gonna says the same thing. When this first came out I was like 16 and had just smoked a bunch of pot and when he cuts the door down and says that I started crying and almost woke my parents up.
I was watching Archer for the first time and I thought the voice was so familiar, then I found this video and was surprised that I didn't remember Home Movies, god I miss this show.
If you haven't, check out a show called Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. The two main VAs are the same VAs as Eric and Coach McGuirk from Home Movies, and a lot of the production staff is the same as well. The reason the dialogue feels organic is because they would go into a scene with only the major points of it actually scripted, with the dialogue is completely improvised by the VAs
I remember watching this as a little kid in 3rd grade. It would come on super early in the morning right before Cartoon Network switched back on. This show is 🔥🤣
Call this hyperbole if you must, but HJB's McGuirk read on '...swords........sssswwords' is the finest read line in the history of voice overs. It is SO pristine and perfect. The voice acting in Home Movies is just the tops.
My old man did the same thing. We have an insane amount of shitty knives that we can't even give away. 🤣 Don't let your boyfriend or husband watch the knife show.

Imagine being a voice actor who does the exact same voice for 19 years across multiple shows.
Try 27 years lol. Jon Benjamin was also Ben in the show Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist which first aired in 1995.
I think that means you won, nailed it on the first try
He does other voices kinda, just his main roles are his own voice.
He also did the voices for the nerdy guy and the sales guy in the tv infomercial here. He's got a few different voices.
